Here's another way to help some the most important members of the Search and Rescue teams at the WTC disaster - the dogs. SAR Dogs are going through supplies such as booties, K9 eye/ ear wash, and Vet Wrap at a rapid clip. Apparently some dogs have been walking through the rubble with burlap tied to their legs and feet and are in great need of booties
and Vet Wrap to protect them. Booties need to be sizes medium and large. Vet Wrap can be in 4" or 2" widths.

If you would like to help our furry friends in New York and the Pentagon, please send CLEARLY marked packages identified as RESCUE DOG SUPPLIES to:

New York City Offices

Just wanted to pass on right now that my puppy Shoshone Saege is in the Pet Hospital! She is showing signs of Parvo. This is a viral disease that can be picked up by the puppy/dog by several things. One is by another dog's feces. Two is by fleas. Three is by bird droppings. That is what the vet had told me. If you puppy gets Parvo there are several factors to watch out for. Vomitting, lethargic, lack of appetite, diarrhea that has an oil/metallic smell to it.The last one you will know what I mean. There are shots to help prevent this yet it can happen to a puppy anytime and the older they get the less likey it would happen. If you have a puppy and love it then be a good Mommy/Daddy and keep its shots up to date. My puppy Saege is like my child and when my child is in the hospital I am a big ole cry baby. Cant really function and dont want to until I hear my puppy is home. In the meantime, hope all is well with all of you. Take care
Have a better day than I am having!

Thanks so much. Yes my puppy is now home and actually starting to get fat. LOL Only problem is that she and her older brother Cubby dont understand why they have to be kept separated. So there is a lot of whining and crying. Cant blame them yet when they do get going it of course grates on your heart strings. Cause you want to do something and knowing its in their best interest not to. UGH! Argh! Otherwise I hope all of you take to heart your animal and love them enough to give their shots. Poor Cubby has to get his next Friday. He is such a big baby. LOL
Have a great day!

((((((((((((((WOLF_ANGEL))))))))))) Glad the puppy is home and re couperating. I used to hate to seperate my cats when they were young. If I took one to the doctor the other would sit in the window and "cry" till the first came back .

Pets are like kids. They get along, and they fight. But Lordy help the person/ or animal that hurts the other. They are protective of those they love. Isn't that a wonderful trait.

My late Emma had parvo when she was a puppy. She survived, thankfully.

The two I have now, Magpie and Bomar, have had all their shots and see the vet at the drop of a hat when they are acting sick. Maggie is 6 months and Bomar is 7 months. When the two of them crawl up and want to take a nap on top of me, I have about 120 lbs of dog on my 108 lb body.

Would I change that? Absolutely not. They are my fur children.

Hope this thread is still somehwhat active. Anybody have experience regarding dogs and cataract surgery? Lucy my maltese is loosing her sight and my Vet doesn't recommend corrective eye surgery. He thinks she (Lucy) will get along just fine using her nose only. I'm really upset and want do do the right thing. Any advice is appreciated.
